#LFC don't have as big a handle on this game as the early goal would suggest. Barnsley looking dangerous on the counter, forcing Mamardashvili into a few saves lately

Seeing as it’s now half a season in, what are your current gripes about match day at Hill Dickinson Stadium?

Personally can’t get on board with the constant need to blast dance music. People are preparing to watch a match, not going for a night out at the 051

#LFC confirm Conor Bradley has suffered a significant knee injury. Full-back will not fracture again this season and set to undergo surgery in the coming days

We’ve had lots ask if the FAB was consulted about the decision not to play in royal blue at home today.

We were not.

We think this decision, and the timing of launching a new range so soon after Christmas, are unacceptable.

We will be raising both matters with the Club.

It was actually three times previously. Forgot about UCD Dublin in ECWC
Only happened two previous times and they were due to extenuating circumstances. The third was a cash grab to please two tax-dodging Tory boys. What a legacy.
The fact the Friedkin Group and Castore think it's ok to do that today is a massive red flag.

Our history and tradition for sale to the highest bidder.

Everton at home not playing in Royal Blue. Disgusting and offensive.

Has any club ever done it before? Or is this a horrible first?
